A hero is a person who has by risking or sacrificing his or her life
affected the lives of
others. September 11, 2001, brought out many heroes, from the firefighters
who entered the burning World Trade Center to the kids who raised
money to help victims of 9/11. Who is a hero in your eyes? This
is your chance to nominate a person to the Hall of Heroes. Tell us
about this person and why he or she deserves to be called a hero.

Send us your nominations and we will post selected nominations to the Hall of Heroes.
